Ethiopian Green Coffee for Korean Specialty Roasters
We supply Q-graded, single-origin Ethiopian arabica to roasters across Seoul, Busan, and Korea's café heartlands. Every lot ships with the phytosanitary and origin documentation Korean customs brokers need for a clean MFDS imported-food declaration.
Direct Answer: Speciality Arabica ships Q-graded Ethiopian green coffee from Djibouti to Busan or Incheon in roughly 20–28 days, with KRW or USD pricing, GrainPro packing, phytosanitary certificates for plant quarantine, and paperwork supporting the MFDS imported-food declaration.
Why Do Korean Roasters Choose Ethiopian Arabica?
South Korea has one of the highest café densities in the world and a specialty scene that consistently rewards clean, floral, high-scoring lots. Washed Yirgacheffe and Guji naturals are staples of Korean roaster menus and cupping competitions, and hand-drip (pour-over) culture places a premium on exactly the clarity and aromatics Ethiopian heirloom varietals deliver.
MFDS-Ready Paperwork
Certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, and lot traceability records that support your imported-food declaration to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
Busan & Incheon Delivery
Sea freight from Djibouti to Busan or Incheon in roughly 20–28 days, packed in GrainPro-lined jute with moisture held at 9–12% for arrival stability.
SCA 80+ Scored Lots
All lots are Q-graded by certified professionals, scoring 80+ on the SCA cupping scale. Pre-shipment samples available for every contract.
How to Import Ethiopian Coffee into South Korea
Green coffee entering South Korea passes plant quarantine inspection and an imported-food declaration to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) under the Special Act on Imported Food Safety. First-time importers also register as food importers with MFDS. We prepare the export dossier in Addis Ababa; your Korean customs broker manages quarantine booking and the MFDS filing.
- 1. Request samples and select lots from Yirgacheffe, Sidama, Guji, or Harrar.
- 2. Agree volume, pricing (KRW or USD), and shipping terms (FOB Djibouti or CIF Busan/Incheon).
- 3. We prepare certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, weight note, ICO certificate, and packing list.
- 4. Your broker books plant quarantine inspection and files the MFDS imported-food declaration.
- 5. Container arrives at Busan or Incheon within roughly 20–28 days of sailing from Djibouti.
